Scott Alexander says about mediocrity:

All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy.

Do you feel better now for having left such a pitiful comment for a writer with such lovely emotions and such a heart-warming blog. I hope it made you made you feel like a real man to try to hurt her feelings and make everyone else feel down. You and your comments are truly impressive! You must make your parents proud with your generous attitude toward others.

thanks for taking the time

thanks for taking the time to read this blog and especially my dear friends who also signed and sent a special valentine message to the President.

The whole point of this effort by Code Pink has been to send a message of peace to the White House and ask President Obama to engage other countries including Iran with diplomacy rather than violence. I guess that's too peaceful an approach for some...  

MPD jan thanks for the encouragement but I am not a writer.

Thanks Khaleh joon, Hajmanitor aziz, Azarin jan and dear Monda! You guys rock!

Valentine is Bull Sh*t

Valentine is Bull Sh*t if you ask me, just a trick to make people buy s***.
Yeh, think of it as stimulus plan.

All you women do cry...

I did sign the petition and will send to others

IRANdokht jan thanks for the reminder. I don't know if the WH fax machines are on but I sent my valentine this morning.

Kaveh,

You're good....I wish you had posted earlier and saved me from exposing my primitive attempt at poetry.

Excellent

You should write more; more blogs and articles.

Ode to Barack

Mister President, I am a conservative.
Oppose the Democratic Party, as is my perogative.

The country needs help, but not from this stimulus,
for it will only come back, to haunt every one of us.

800 billion is the cost of this package,
which only ensures eternal fiscal baggage.

Your intentions are noble, your meaning is well,
But trust me this package will send us to hell.

Ignore Harry Reid, and that witch Nancy Pelosi,
for under them, the rules are followed loosey-goosey.

They blamed everyone else, while their hands got dirty,
and now we won't break even, until maybe 2030.

As much as you say it's not, this bill is filled with pork,
stop taking us for fools, stop thinking we're dorks.

You promised to bring change,
so America elected you to be the man,
Now show that you're not full of it,
and deep-six this worthless stimulus plan.

Please wait until tomorrow!

Great idea Irandokht Jan! But don't you think since today is Friday the 13th, we better wait until tomorrow?

I love Obama too...so I might send them this Valentine...but I'm planning to cut the political parts...:0) Azarin 

Wake up my dear....

It’s Valentine’s day
And it’s your turn to pay

Things are more complicated
Than what you dreamed.

You thought Obama is “Ba ma”
That’s why you screamed
 
Now, you are waking up,
Slowly, but surely

And begin to see
How naïve you were purely

I don’t want to say
“I told you so”

But, what the heck
I better go.

‫ایراندخت عزیز

بسیار بجا بود، سپاس

درخت دوستی بنشان كه كام دل به بار آرد
نهال دشمنی بركن كه رنج بی‌شمار آرد؛
چو مهمان خراباتی به عزت باش با رندان
كه درد سر كشی جانا گرت مستی خمار آرد؛
شب صحبت غنيمت دان  كه بعد از روزگار ما
بسی گردش كند گردون بسی ليل و نهار آرد؛
عماری دار ليلی را كه مهد ماه در حكم است
خدا را در دل اندازش كه بر مجنون گرار آرد؛
بهار عمر خواه ای دل وگرنه اين چمن هر سال
چو نسرين صد گل آرد بار و چون بلبل هزار آرد؛
خدا را چون دل ريشم قراری بست با زلفت
بفرما لعل نوشين را كه زودش باقرار آرد؛
در اين باغ از خدا خواهد دگر پيرانه سر حافظ      
نشيند بر لب جويی و سروی در كنار آرد؛         

Fantastic Dear IRANdokht

What a positive way to try an influence the unraveling of the situation in the middle east.

Thanks for showing us the way.
